What the media say

"Tado is basically a smart, wall-mounted remote control for the dumb air conditioner in your window. It already offers connected cooling control via an app or using geofenced automations that turn the AC on and off as you come and go."

"Various Apps that control our homes and our energy use are coming fast and furious, but one in particular is really cool. The tado° Smart AC Control for your smart phone turns the home’s appliances, like air conditioners, into smart devices, sensing people’s position and automatically adjusting the energy use to save energy whether you’re away or at home."

"Tado’s device interfaces with over 85% of the world’s air conditioners, including both portable and window units. Once installed, Smart AC Control allows users to interact with their cooling system much like traditional smart thermostats do. For example you could have the system pre-cool before you get home, and automatically turn itself off to save energy when you are away."

"What makes the Tado particularly smart is its connection to local weather stations and utilization of adapting algorithms to correctly adjust temperatures based on the exact weather each day. Owners even have the ability to raise or lower the temperature of their home via a few quick swipes on their smartphone, no matter where they’re located at the time. Concerning the partnership with Amazon, a simple voice command to Alexa activates Tado and allows for the adjustment of temperature."

"The Tado device renders otherwise dumb air-conditioning units programmable, and multiple units can work together to control air conditioners in different rooms of your home. So a simple phrase like “Alexa, set living room to 68 degrees,” or “Alexa, increment (or decrement to decrease) living room by two degrees” will change the target temperatures for the A/C units in those rooms accordingly."

"tado’s Smart AC Control can be controlled using a smartphone, but once you’ve settled on a temperature, that’s all you have to do. The unit will turn the AC on when it detects that someone is home, and will shut it off when it detects that everyone has left. At the very least, you won’t have to sweat the energy bill (as much)."
